Later Life

Moberg lived the last years of his life with depression, and eventually he committed suicide by drowning himself in a lake outside his house. He left a note to his wife saying: "The time is twenty past seven; I go to search in the lake for eternal sleep. Forgive me, I could not endure.". Moberg was buried in Norra begravningsplatsen in Stockholm.

    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    He was a man of Spartan habits, and at sixty was scrupulous about his diet at your table, excusing himself by saying that he must eat sparingly and fare hard, as became a soldier, or one who was fitting himself for difficult enterprises, a life of exposure.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
